Amazon Children's Backpack and Stationery CPC Certification Testing

Recently, many Amazon merchants have received emails from Amazon requesting the submission of CPC certificates.

What is CPC?

CPC (Children’s Product Certificate) is required for all products primarily intended for children aged 12 and under, such as toys, cribs, children's clothing, etc.

- If the product is manufactured in the U.S., the manufacturer is responsible for providing the CPC certificate.

- If the product is manufactured in other countries, the importer is responsible for providing it.

For cross-border sellers acting as "importers," selling products manufactured in China to the U.S. requires providing a CPC certificate to Amazon, which acts as the retailer/distributor.
